Sample Source Code

// Create a new workbook and some local variables.
SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbook workbook = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbook();
SpreadsheetGear.IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.ActiveWorksheet;
SpreadsheetGear.IBorder border;

// Setup range to change borders.
SpreadsheetGear.IRange range = worksheet.Cells["B2:D8"];

// EXAMPLE 1: Set top border style.
{
    // Get a reference to the top border of the range.
    border = range.Borders[SpreadsheetGear.BordersIndex.EdgeTop];

    // Set the border LineStyle, Weight, and Color.
    border.LineStyle = SpreadsheetGear.LineStyle.Continuous;
    border.Weight = SpreadsheetGear.BorderWeight.Thick;
    border.Color = SpreadsheetGear.Colors.Blue;
}

// EXAMPLE 2: Set left border style.
{
    // Get a reference to the left border of the range.
    border = range.Borders[SpreadsheetGear.BordersIndex.EdgeLeft];

    // Set the border LineStyle, Weight, and Color.
    border.LineStyle = SpreadsheetGear.LineStyle.Continuous;
    border.Weight = SpreadsheetGear.BorderWeight.Medium;
    border.ThemeColor = SpreadsheetGear.Themes.ColorSchemeIndex.Accent1;
}

// EXAMPLE 3: Set bottom border style.
{
    // Get a reference to the bottom border of the range.
    border = range.Borders[SpreadsheetGear.BordersIndex.EdgeBottom];

    // Set the border LineStyle, Weight, and Color.
    border.LineStyle = SpreadsheetGear.LineStyle.Continuous;
    border.Weight = SpreadsheetGear.BorderWeight.Thin;
    border.ThemeColor = SpreadsheetGear.Themes.ColorSchemeIndex.Accent2;
    border.TintAndShade = -0.5;
}

// EXAMPLE 4: Set right border style.
{
    // Get a reference to the right border of the range.
    border = range.Borders[SpreadsheetGear.BordersIndex.EdgeRight];

    // Set the border LineStyle, Weight, and Color.
    border.LineStyle = SpreadsheetGear.LineStyle.Double;
    border.Weight = SpreadsheetGear.BorderWeight.Thick;
    border.Color = SpreadsheetGear.Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0);
}

// EXAMPLE 5: Set inside horizontal borders style.
{
    // Get a reference to the inside horizontal borders of the range.
    border = range.Borders[SpreadsheetGear.BordersIndex.InsideHorizontal];

    // Set the border LineStyle, Weight, and Color.
    border.LineStyle = SpreadsheetGear.LineStyle.Continuous;
    border.Weight = SpreadsheetGear.BorderWeight.Thin;
    border.ColorIndex = 23;
}

// EXAMPLE 6: Set inside vertical borders style.
{
    // Get a reference to the inside vertical borders of the range.
    border = range.Borders[SpreadsheetGear.BordersIndex.InsideVertical];

    // Set the border LineStyle, Weight, and Color.
    border.LineStyle = SpreadsheetGear.LineStyle.Continuous;
    border.Weight = SpreadsheetGear.BorderWeight.Thin;
    border.Color = SpreadsheetGear.Colors.Black;
}

// EXAMPLE 7: Set all borders at once.
{
    // Get a reference to the range to change borders.
    range = worksheet.Cells["B10:D16"];

    // Get a reference to the inside vertical borders of the range.
    SpreadsheetGear.IBorders borders = range.Borders;

    // Set the border LineStyle, Weight, and Color.
    borders.LineStyle = SpreadsheetGear.LineStyle.Continuous;
    borders.Weight = SpreadsheetGear.BorderWeight.Medium;
    borders.Color = SpreadsheetGear.Colors.Orange;
